Introduction to FLIR Bridge

FLIR Bridge is a sensor-to-cloud HW/SW solution that enables the flow of temperature data from FLIR thermal cameras to 3rd party cloud applications, a multitude of industrial protocols and large asset management software such as PI System. FLIR Bridge is available as a standard version and Pro version, with the pro version having more powerful hardware. The main software difference is that the standard version supports up to 5 sensors, and the Pro version supports unlimited amounts of sensors.

The FLIR Bridge provides a scalable, secure, robust infrastructure for collecting data from sensors, processing data at the edge and transporting data to historian and other management systems. FLIR Bridge can operate over the unreliable, intermittent and low bandwidth connections often found in IoT applications. FLIR Bridge is implemented as a collection of microservices which include:

Core services, including security, monitoring, and storage Data transformation and alerting services South services: Collect data from sensors and other FLIR Bridge systems North services: Transmit data to historians and other systems Edge data processing applications
